Mission statement

We, the families of Religious Education, commit ourselves into a closer union with Jesus, who will lead us to the Father through the Holy Spirit, and therefore, become immersed in the Love of God. We do this by teaching/learning the Catholic faith and participating in the celebration of the Eucharist every Sunday and Holy Days. We are called to love and be examples of love to all people.

First Communion (First Eucharist)For more information, please go to the First Communion page.

Beginning Faith Formation3 to 5 year old children (Sundays only)This class is for children in Preschool and Kindergarten. They will begin to learn about and understand the Catechism of the Catholic Church as well as developing a relationship with God. Some of the topics include: God created everything and everything is a gift from God; when we pray, we are talking to God; the Holy Trinity is God the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit; the Great Commandment is about loving God and others; people in the church are called to live holy lives, as the saints did; and sacraments are signs of God’s love.

Continuing Faith Formation3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th, & 8th Grades This class is offered for 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders who have already received First Communion, but would like to continue with their faith formation. This class is highly encouraged for all children at this age. We all must realize that receiving the Sacraments is not the end of our journey, but part of our life-long faith journey. The children will be exposed to a deeper understanding of the Catechism of the Catholic Church: The Creed, Liturgy and the Sacraments, Morality, and Prayer.
